It took several hours for Kyle to do all of the tilling. Ethan and Brooklyn enjoyed watching daddy out working.
Ethan wanted to go out and help so badly, but settled for helping me make cookies instead (you can kind of see the evidence on his face).
Kyle had Brooklyn on his shoulders the other day while on the computer. I couldn't resist taking a picture.
And this one of Ethan was just too cute, not to share.
Sunday afternoon, we finally got to go see Ethan and Brooklyn's new cousin Allie. Brooklyn and Allie are about 5 months apart. While we were amazed by Allie's dark hair . . .
. . . Brooklyn thought Allie's fingers were particularly delicious.
Thanks so much for letting us come and visit. When we got out to the car after our visit Ethan said, "Brian and Jackson house fun!" After this busy weekend, we were all so exhausted when we got home last night.Update: We are so grateful for the wisdom of our sister-in-law, Heather. We implemented some of her advice following the frustration we posted about last week and it has been working so well! Ethan now loves to pick one or two of our fingers to hold while walking through parking lots and bedtime has been a bit easier since we put our foot down and created more boundaries (and now only bathe him every other day--he is such a dirty kid, hopefully we'll be able to keep this one up). We originally created our bedtime routine because he would cry himself to sleep almost every night when he was little and it seemed to help. Now that he is two, and now an excellent sleeper, he figured out how to use the routine against us to drag things out. It feels good to be the one in charge again :).

That's awesome that you'll be planting raspberries. I looked at the nursery today and the good kinds were all gone. I need to research more about growing them before I buy any... I guess it's a good thing because maybe we're not ready. That's good news that bedtime is getting better. So how do you get him to hold your hand in a parking lot or street? That's been a challenge for us.
It was fun having you guys here- thanks for coming! And I'm glad the finger thing is working, and that bedtime is getting better. I'm sure he'll think of something else to challenge you with though- that's what Jackson does. As soon as we figure one thing out, he finds something else to make us think. ;)
wow! You guys are so busy. I love raspberries too so when you're raspberries get ready to give starts let me know we'll be there in a heart beat.
